The Fanatec Porsche 911 Wheels are a series of racing wheels released by Fanatec since December 13, 2007.

With the exception of the Carrera wheel, the 911 wheels were notable to be the first racing wheels in the history to have belt-driven force feedback, with all models being powered by a single Mabuchi RS550 motor for a peak torque of 4.6Nm. There are three PS/2 ports on both sides of the wheel base for pedal sets and shifters and, on the Turbo S and the GT2 wheels, there is a 3.5mm audio jack for audio passthrough. They also have a 3-segment LCD display on the steering wheel for displaying telemetry data. With the exception of the 911 GT3 RS wheels, the buttons on the steering wheel are back-illuminated. Most models, except the Carrera wheel, has two rumble motors built into the steering wheels. While all wheels are compatible with the PlayStation 3 console, Xbox compatibility vary between models.

The lineup debuted with the original Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel. It was followed by the Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel on October 31, 2008, which added Xbox compatibility. Both the Porsche 911 Carrera Wheel and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS Wheel, released on February 15, 2009. were entry-level wheel and high-end wheel respectively, with the Carrera sporting a gear-driven force feedback. The GT3 RS received a updated V2 version on June 8th, 2010 with updated internal boards. The final wheel in the lineup, the Porsche 911 GT2 Wheel, was released in December 2010.

On PC, all versions of 911 Wheels are compatible with games that incorporate Fanatec's SDK, but requires the wheel base to be in PC mode and have older version of Fanatec's own driver installed to work (See Use with PC platforms). Some 911 wheel packages doesn't come with a pedal set, so a separate purchase of a compatible Fanatec pedal is required. The 911 Turbo wheel and the 911 Turbo S wheel are the the only model in the lineup that requires to be connected to the PC via a wireless RF dongle.
